Taylor and her husband Tyler just had a baby at the hospital. They believe the hospital has switched their baby. Taylor is type O and Tyler is type AB. Their baby, Tyree, is type O. Explain if the hospital switched the baby.
The DNA of the baby shares the DNA of both father and mother, and hence a cross link between an O type mother (Taylor) and an AB type father (Tyler) will produce children with blood groups A and B. It will be impossible to give birth to a child with blood group O.
